A mosque imam reciting the Qur'an in a recitation other than Hafs

Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: Is it valid for a mosque imam to recite the Qur'an in a recitation other than the recitation of Hafs from the mass-transmitted recitations?

Answer:
No. The mosque imam recites in the recitation followed in the country and does not recite in any other, because it confuses the people. One who does this is removed if he does not stop; that is, he is removed from the mosque. It is not suitable; it confuses the people. But if he prays alone, what is the matter with him if he wants to recite in the ten recitations? We have no concern with him. But that he confuses the people is not suitable. Yes, perhaps they object to him, saying this is a mistake in the prayer. Perhaps they object to him in the prayer, and this happens. This is not permissible. This is arrogance and is not suitable.
A fatwa was issued by the Permanent Committee, signed by our Shaykh, Shaykh Ibn Baz, and the members of the Committee, stating that the imam should follow the recitation of the people of the country and not contradict them. Yes.
